SantaSearch has no high profile Board of Directors or foundations in place. But we are a dedicated group of compassionate, caring volunteers who touch the hearts of children and adults by bringing the joy of Christmas Season throughout the year.

Over the years, the volunteer team of Internet Elves has helped Santa personally reply to hundreds of thousands of letters. Each child with a valid email address receives a special, unique and magical letter from the big guy himself! Each year the improvements at the Internet North Pole exceed the previous years, making this year the best one yet. What is more, all information, sections and services at SantaSearch are provided absolutely free of charge.

SantaSearch first opened its doors in 1996 with no more than a few hundred children sending emails to Santa. In 1997 a postal strike in Canada lead to the sites first boomtown popularity. Now each year, the millions of visitors are brought in from every means known to modern society. Internet links, word of mouth, television and radio coverage, magazines and newspapers all attribute to the sites continuous growth in recognition. That recognition is from both a heart felt thank you from a child’s parent, to awards including USA Today, Golden Web, Education World, Education Planet, Cyber-Teddy’s and numerous others.

Writing Santa a letter isn’t the only item we offer. We're also proud to have one of or the largest Christmas music collections, editorials on how various communities and countries celebrate the holidays and even include Christmas tree safety tips. There are even sections for stories, poems and humor. Even with all that is available; our greatest thrill continues to be reaching out and touching the hearts of children! Unfortunately some children and adults do not get a Merry Christmas. There again, we try to make the difference. From helping a little girl who simply requested a doll for her baby sister and some firewood to heat their home, to the little boy whose parents wrote requesting Santa help them with transportation their child needed for medical care, our team of volunteers jumps to the task and makes us proud.

This holiday season promises to be our biggest and best ever and we hope you enjoy SantaSearch! As always, let us know what you think, we love hearing from our visitors. Thank you for visiting and may you and your loved ones, have a very Safe and Happy Holiday Season and all the best throughout the year!
